When Siri was first released , many people discovered that besides asking her serious questions such as ‘What’s the weather like’, you could also say stuff to her like ‘I love you’ which would result in some very funny responses. And just like Siri, Microsoft’s new Cortana also has some jokes up her sleeve as well.
Microsoft’s Mike Calcagno, who oversees the Bing search platform which is how Cortana answers questions, explained that he took note of how people asked questions to Siri, some seemingly useless, and how they generate a real value. “I discounted those types of interactions at the beginning” he said, but after using Siri, he saw how those questions have a role in making a stronger connection and helping people feel more comfortable talking to a digital assistant.
So when Microsoft do release Cortana and you’re wanting to get more comfortable with her, then here are a few questions you can ask to break the ice (for those unfamiliar with the service, you can read the question bellow in the white box and see the answer in the top in yellow letters):
Cortana’s Gender
Sometimes she identifies as female, but not as a women. So perhaps she know’s female, but just lacking a woman’s body, for obvious reasons.
Cortana’s Loyalty
Cortana was created by Microsoft, so its no surprise that Cortana is very loyal to her creators and their products. So when you ask her what’s better, Bing or Google, I think you know which one she’ll pick.
Cortana’s Creator
Ask her who created her, she’ll give you some deep, philosophical answer, but ask her who her Daddy is (which is kind of creepy) then she’ll name the man himself.
Love for Xbox and Halo
Naturally when you ask her what’s better the Playstation 3 or Xbox, she picks her favorite Microsoft system. She even makes a connection to Halo when asked who’s better, herself or Siri.
Cortanas Taste in Music
And finally if you ask her what her favorite kind of music is, she tell what she’s currently listening too. She also cracks a few jokes from time to time as well.
Aee Cheetani
Tell her you love her. A couple of the responses are funny.
Tell her you hate her. You love her. she’s the best. Am I pretty. Are you horny? Do you have a vagina… Thats a funny one… If windows is her boyfriend. What are you wearing…. She knows most general animal. Horse and fox are the best. Who’s better her or Siri? Any family brother, sister and mom OR dad…. Sing joke knock knock… There’s a lot…
The vagina response is coo coo
Come back .come back to reality
if u ask her what does a cat say she’ll say meooooow and if u ask her what does the dog say she’ll say arph arph arph
Also, what does the fox say.
Omg that one is soooo funny
ring ding ding ding dingeringding..lololol
That was hilarious, you have to look that up
she also does cows and goats
Ask her if she is Democrat or Republican
She says, “can’t vote that yet. Check back in 18 years.”
My som asked how is the master chief (halo reference)
Her answer was so good. That I told her she was great and that response was also great.
When I said My son thinks you are funny she referred me to this page!
So the responses here have not even touched the surface of conversing with Cortana.
It’s great fun.
ask “What is your quest?” – Monty Python Holy Grail response
say “Beam me up” – Star Trek
say “engage” – Star Trek TNG
say “may the force be with you”
Cortana is awesome. If you ask her “What’s playing?” or “What am I listening to?” she can name the song. I thought at first she was doing it by listening to lyrics and doing a search, but she can differentiate between different artists and can name songs without lyrics. It’s not only useful, but just amazing that it can be done.
My Cortana listens to something I never heard.
me too LOL
she just told me shes into electro rockabilly surfpolka
she might say I LOOOOOOOOVE the operAAAAAAA!
Ask “where is master chief?”–must be through voice–
And she’ll give two different funny response quotes frome HALO
Ask her if she knows clippy.
ask who will win in a fight you or siri :’)
Nerdgasm! Ask Cortana to “open the pod bay doors”. “2001: A Space Odyssey” Fans
you can play rock paper scissors with her
YOU CAN PLAY ROCK PAPER SCISSORS LIZARD SPOCK!!!! Which is from The Big Bang Theory lol
ask her if she eats.
Jajajaja!! ask her if she sings!!!! she does!
Ask her if she loves master chief
Do it! It’s quite funny
Ask her if she’s jealous of Melinda Gates.
If you ask her if she sings, she told me at least. I’m no Ellen Fitzgerald but if you ask me to I will. Ask who is better her or Siri and she says o think we are both pretty clever.
You should ask “Where is Master Chief?” and then tell her “I am Master Chief” Both are rather funny.
if you ask her if you can have sex with her she will flat out turn you down and she replies by saying nope
if you tell Cortana that she sounds sexy she will acknowledge your compliment and tell you thanks that means alot
Searched a son called ‘I am who I am”. Got “are you now?”
she does birds too
If you ask her “hows master chief” it has a pretty good answer
